hanasan's manga / #Strong Female Lead(16)

Watched the anime first and fell in love with Livi and Nike. Manga version is just as lovely. Don't let their age gap stop you, they're both pure on the topic of love (regardless of how mature Livi acts lol).

Tomboy lead Tomo has been mistaken for a boy by her childhood friend Jun to the point that he doesn't see her as a girl (or so she thinks). Super funny all the way and adorable, I love Tomo and Jun so much and I'm glad they're finally making progress so far! Don't let the number of chapters fool you, it's a 4-koma manga with one page per chapter (usually, save for the omake.) It's a quick, refreshing, and absolutely adorable read.

Certainly not your average reverse harem shoujo. This manga deals with a lot more than just romance- it teaches a lot of family values, how to accept your flaws, and the flaws of your loved ones. How, despite any animosity, those people are still precious family. It's beautiful.

Okay, first thing, THE ART IS G O R G E O U S. Most of the panels are dripping with atmosphere and yet the comedic timing is still impressive! The shift in art style between the more serious scenes, the flashbacks, the half-way scenes where it's clearly supposed to be important yet still light-hearted and funny, and just the comedy scenes are well paced and beautifully done. It's a great story too!

Absolutely adore how they paint the "villainess" of the story to have actually been extremely devoted to her previous fiancee, but just misunderstood for how she wasn't as feminine as the main lead. The demon king seems to have immediately fallen for how interesting Aileen is, and honestly I did too. The main lead, Aileen, is an absolute sweetheart despite her... eccentricities. And the demon king is just as adorable! I'm attached to both of them and I can't wait to see how this ends.
